National Conference

Veteran and Community Connections Expo being held on September 14, 2024. It will be wonderful to inform the community about all of the amazing Federal, State and Community Resources that are available to Service Members, Veterans and their families. Background: We all share a sincere passion for serving Veterans and ensuring they are aware of the benefits and services available. Unfortunately, not all Service Members, Veterans and their family members know about the benefits they have earned, and some do not have solid connections within their community. These events aim to connect Service Members, Veterans, and their family members to Federal, State, and Community Resources. At the same time, they aim to connect Federal, State and Community Resource representatives with each other to expand networks, build partnerships and assist with improving referral services to one another. During these events, participants can connect to mental health services, build rapport with representatives to assist with community ties, and learn about safe-storage options to eliminate Veteran suicide. This event will be an outdoor event, much like the one we held in Caribou, ME at Spud Speedway. Location: Acadia National Cemetery, 1799 U.S. Route 1, Jonesboro, Maine Date: Saturday, September 14, 2024 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Cost: Free! Like the events in the past, we plan on having some give away items, etc. Attached is the flyer for the event in Jonesboro on Saturday, September 14,2024. We would ask that you help us spread the word about this event, and encourage any Veteran, Service Member, or family to attend! For this event, we have also developed an Eventbrite registration. The flyer includes the QR code to the event where attendees can register for a FREE ticket. If you could help promote the event with both the attached flyer and the Eventbrite registration, that would be fantastic! Requests: Even if you are not able to attend the event, we are asking for assistance with promoting the event. Please share in your newsletters, email distributions, social media sites, etc. There is a PDF attached and a jpeg for social medial/websites. VFW Eastern Conerence
